You have a strong case on both counts, but I still feel like you've sidestepped the question. You sound just as closed minded as most atheists I've run into. I find it distasteful and counterproductive to getting others to understand you or to discover the truth. You may as well shut up about it as compared to your current approach, from a pragmatic stance.

If you haven't asked yourself these basic epistemic questions that I asked you, then you will have an even harder time answering the questions of those who do not explicitly recognize God.
